@PhilHaupt 3 года назад

Most important tip: Breath out through your nose only. It will bring your heart rate down quite a lot! Another one is to not push off the wall too hard (during flip turns). Try to flip quickly but then relax on the push off and focus on streamline position.

Great video Heather! I find less kicking helps SO much. When doing a two-beat kick, I can swim much harder/further - and pretty much same pace as more fast + furious kick (which means I'm doing something wrong there!) PS - musculoskeLEEtal @5:09 sounds so much better with UK dialect than US!

@gregoriotierno3703 3 года назад

My humble experience is you can relax by understanding that you swim for the pleasure of swimming, of flowing through the water, by concentrating on your movements, on how they feel, on how you as a whole slide... And, specially in the pool (different in open water), try to break the "end of the pool lane" effect, so you understand the other side of the pool lane is just a landmark, not affecting your concentration, not representing a goal in itself. In summary, forget about time and concentrate on your body flowing through the water. My view. Hope it helps someone.

@shaunhoulahan4080 3 года назад

One thing that I’ve found useful for building endurance is a session each week where I swim the main set with a snorkel. I can build muscular endurance without worrying about my breathing. It’s really helped. I concentrate on my arm stroke while I do this set.

@qkayaman Год назад

This is very good advice. What I'd say also, there's no easy fix, it needs a fair amount of practice to get to a level where you can swim without getting tired. I started swimming this summer, and it took about 40 1h sessions to get to a level now where I can cover 2km in 1h freestyle non-stop (yeah lots of room for improvement), and get out of the pool still feeling relatively fresh. I struggled for a long time getting winded and heart racing after every 50m, nearly giving up several times. Not entirely sure how I got over it, but one day it was like a switch was flipped. I think it's a combination of factors coming together, which are basically covered in this video - good breathing technique, staying relaxed, efficient movements, and pacing etc. Ultimately however I think it all comes down to practice and getting used to everything.

My tip: don't pin yourself to that bilateral breathing just because some people say 'you should'. If it's more comfortable to breath after 2 strokes instead of 3, by all means go for it, master it and kill it in your next race. We all basically switch to unilateral breathing when it matters most anyway

@ryanmilton2643 3 года назад

Sometimes I do bilateral, sometimes I do two on one side, two on the other. Sometimes unilateral for 25, then switch sides and return with unilateral

@jor-el1298 3 года назад

I think most swimmers have a "strong" side on which they breath more comfortably. I know I do. I've heard the argument about the imbalance a 2 stroke swim causes, so I always train mostly with 3 strokes (or more, of course), but in the races I've done I've always used a 2 stroke swim, because of the anxiety and because it helps me calm down. After a while I switch to bilateral breathing, but the lateral breathing will always be my safety net if tired or anxious.

@abdullah087 3 года назад

I always do 2 strokes, and always feel I’m doing it wrong. Thanks for the tips

@MeneerHerculePoirot 2 года назад

My standard breathing in freestyle is turn my head every 3d stroke. It was tough teaching myself to turn my head to the left as I'm strongly right-handed. When I want to do extended I'll do a 3-5-7 -5-3 stroke breathing series. The main thing I do is try to hold form at any number. 7 strokes between breaths is alot, but it builds stamina.

Coincidentally enough, I experienced this exact thing earlier today. Relaxed, slowed me leg kick to my more natural rhythm and started off slower, picking up the pace. Achieved the fastest 1600m I have in a while with almost no effort! Even though I know this, I still find it hard to remind myself to do these easy things right every time.

I do 3Km session every weekend. I do concentrate on my streamline, hand position, and breathing with slow pace on the first 500m~or so.

I'd like to see a practical video in detail about how to only put part of your face out and avoid inhaling water. I turn my whole face out to the side and still manage to choke on water carried up by my head sometimes. When I try to turn less, even a small wave ends up hitting my mouth, keeping me from breathing. I have no problem breathing out the entire time my face is in the water, so I'm only inhaling when turning my head.

Hey.. I've a thought about swimming.. it's like a basic concept of swimming.. IDK how much right i am about it; but i feel that's this concept is the basic thing that everyone who want to learn swimming should know. It's the Breathing! Even before one learns any of the fundamental steps towards learning to swim one needs to learn the breathing technique. In fact teching how to swim should go hand in hand with teaching how to breathe while doing a particular step. I mean.. that's how i learnt to swim.. It is hard to believe but one day it hit me that relaxing my breathing is the key to swim easily... It was a sudden realisation kind of thing that happened that day which improved my swimming so much that my friend who was also learning with me told me how i became so good in a day at swimming.

@jenniferstacey375 2 года назад

Great video! I’ve improved my swimming distance and speed by ensuring I glide at the completion of each stroke. This gives me a great stretch and enables me to reduces my effort. I’ve also taken up open water swimming. There’s something psychological about reaching the end of the pool that was making me feel like I earned a rest….

@FRDETsdfs Год назад

Yes. Google the “catch up” drill to learn how to glide. Also, hand paddles help teach this skill.

As a long distance pool swimmer, i find that breathing a bit more towards the end of the lap is more effective in 1.5km swims but as you get to your 100s i find i just have to suck it up.

Great video thanks. My tips: Technique, technique, technique! Streamlining / Body position. Without a dolphin kick I aim for at least a 5 - 6m glide at the start of each length. Means that for a 1500m swim in a 25m pool, I'm only swimming 1200m. Ditch the pullbuoy! At least if you're using it to mask poor body position. Work on improving it. I recommend Total Immersion Swimming as a method. Mix up different strokes and distances.

Yes, you can do this to swim further distances easier, and that’s what a lot of swimmers do when swimmingly slowly But if you do this intentionally early on as swimming as an adaptation you might teach yourself to have a hiccup in your stroke My suggestion instead would be to learn the feeling of building momentum and keeping it, once one arm exits the other enters

It's the main reason why people (like me) get immediate throttle after a few strokes: holding their breath inside like a submarine untill they must stop and pop up for fresh oxygen :-) Anyway, probably I alot of practice, some necessary mental preparation, and some talent "may" help...

I recognize many of the issues listed as problems that impede my progress, and am working on improving them, but one thing in particular is hard to deal with, and that's the breathing out. What I notice is that when I'm actively trying to do that (rather than holding my breath), I'm only able to breath out in synchrony with my hand movement, so I breath out during the insertion, then stop, then do it again, then stop. I think I need more tips and tricks on making sure the breathing out is constant.

@RickMartinYouTube 2 года назад

there are a lot of different videos with different breathing recommendations - it's really something you probably have to do trail and error to see what works for you ....some say only use your nose to exhale, others say mouth/nose. Some say exhale forcefully, others say trickle. One RU-vidr expert says to trickle out early, hold a little, then trickle out as you turn your head for a breath......and asking swimmers who are experienced, they tell me it's so second nature that they don't even think about it

there's a lot to breathing properly -

@huntersneed9994 11 месяцев назад

I started a couple of months ago in the same boat. I just swam 150 strait for the first time and feel I could go much further if I could fix something in my technique I just don't know what's wrong

@Jamz19999 2 года назад

Im in sixth grade and i suck at swimming. I’ve got a swimming test tomorrow with two other sixth graders and with eight fourth graders. I’ve got a B in P.E but if I can’t swim 200 meters without stopping tomorrow I’ll get an F. I’m really nervous so please wish me luck, I doubt anyone will see this before tomorrow but still. Im coming back in a week to tell you guys if it was a success or a fail. See you soon!

I'm going to have a swiming test next week and i can only swim on my back so wish me luck

@mib910 Год назад

I have been swimming for around 4-5 months now, still getting tired after only 25m while the technique has improved a bit

@sukhmanpaldhillon5881 10 месяцев назад

Same issue here... 25m max... i need to do 100m in one month

@topogelido 3 года назад

there's only one fundamental tip: don't kick. just learn how to keep your legs up without kicking and your heart rate will stay low, you will be able to swim for a long time without gasping

@RickMartinYouTube 2 года назад

agree - kicking a lot isn't necessary

@stewartarbuckle3597 2 года назад

Hi, I have a question, when I swim with a pool buoy i can swim for ages, when I try to use my kick (which is a poor kick) I get breathless very quickly. What drills would you recommend?

@sudeepchadha 2 года назад

I feel like I go from 8 to 1 in tiredness really quickly in my 4th lap. I get tired really quickly and I think its because somewhere some panic button gets hit and I breathe wrong and kick fast and raise my head out of the water. hate it when that happens..

@rbstretch100 3 года назад

Useful video. Always wanted to try Triathlon, but my swimming is dreadful. Even though my cycling FTP is just over 300, I can't even complete a 50m length without running out of breath! I guess I'm doing something fundamentally wrong and need some lessons again.

@leighcarey7778 6 месяцев назад

I find eventually it clicks. I spent 3 months barely able to do 4 lengths. Then it clicked within 2 weeks I could do 40 lengths.

Which camera setup was used for those underwater shots? A GH5 with a housing?

@StevenLudmon 3 года назад

I train mostly in sets of 100 m with a pull buoy, I can focus on my technique without worrying about kicking and running out of breath.

@StevenLudmon 3 года назад

@arina loiko No snorkel, I breathe on right side only due to shoulder injury. I don't try to swim fast, just focusing on extending my reach and making a good grab.

Thanks - very helpful video - my fitness has taken a nose dive what with quarantining for 2 weeks in a single [hotel] room - BUT even when young and very [field] fit I wud end up gasping after 1 or 2 lengths - I have come to the conclusion that I never relax in the water, like NEVER/at no point in my cycle be it 2/3/or4 cycle breathing - I put it down to 2 childhood events where out of my depth & still a non-swimmer and had to be “rescued” - for a “fake” swimmer like me who is able to ‘put on a show’ but is steadily getting into oxygen debt have you any tips on breaking this innate fear aged 60+ - I feel if only I could relax I would be able to go a lot longer.... No pools here so only open water and it’s getting that bit cooler now [PS another handicap is that I shiver earlier than others🤪]...

I LOVE LOVE LOVE these videos. They give me hope. Question: I just signed up for a triathlon...it's a very short sprint for my first. 750 yards ocean swim. I'm not worried about bike or run. I can complete all of that no problem. HOWEVER...I've only been in the pool twice now (my husband and kids are swimmers) and I do know how to swim...but I have never swam for exercise. My aerobic fitness is there, it just seems like I'm not fully exhaling before I turn to take another breath. It's causing me to get breathless early. I'm still taking breaks after each 50 (50meters). WTH can I do to train myself to FULLY EXHALE before I take that breath??

@Royalty12345 Год назад

Shannon… I just came across this video and have been reading the comments. My issue is EXACTLY the same as yours. In case you read this did you manage to correct your breathing. If so, how .. cheers

I am an older woman who swims 3 hours a week; M,W.F. for physical and mental health. After swimming, I am full of energy, but the next day I am tired and ache all over! Any advice?

@jackfuller7346 2 года назад

I have found that if I focus on my arm strokes I will keep the same pace and keep my breathing the same and I have been able to swim longer distances if I just tell myself to stay calm

@keithv6 Год назад

For sinkers, trickle breathing will make our bodies much lower than the water surface, which we will only drink water when we rotate our body and turn our head for breathing... Is there any solution for it? I don't wanna hold my breath too

@markclaro9580 Год назад

Back floating saved me from drowning multiple times when I started to swallow more water in the deep end. I personally use trickle breathing more on less deep water when I know I have the ability to pull myself up vertically to touch my feet to the ground

@richardlippold4281 3 года назад

I've found that by breathing through my nose and making fists with my hands through my stroke, I drastically reduce my fatigue.

@asphalthedgehog6580 3 года назад

I can swim breaststroke in high tempo for hours, and can do it with freestyle only if I hardly use my legs for kicking, only for stability. If I use my legs, cramp arrives in minutes, in legs and feet. Breathing is never a problem, only wish I could hold a good technique longer than 400 metres or so. After that I swim faster with breaststroke.

@SanSD1 Год назад

Thank you I haven’t tried these techniques out yet but they should be able to help me. One question is though, should you eat anything before swimming? If so how long do u have to wait after you have eaten in order to go swimming?

@shahadat.hussain20 3 года назад

Pls teach the nitty grities of how to breathe while in free style motion

@wkawengian 2 года назад

I swim twice a week in 25m pool and every time I spend 1 hour for nonstop 1500m fresstyle slow pace + 4x50m frestyle sprint + 2x25m butterfly slow pace llus some drills and another 1 hour relaxing chit chat..im 57 years old and non athlete but I love swimming very much.

@jameshallfishing3377 3 года назад

Kicking off the wall in backstroke I tend to stay under the water well past the flags before starting my first stroke. Seems to upset a lot of people. I take my first stroke and my body hasn't come up yet. After about 4 strokes then I pop up out of the water😂

@sametsu1259 2 года назад

swimming is complicated. you would think it would be easy but for me its hard because you have to do so many things at the same time. also, i find that breathing technique very hard. for the most part i end up glupping water, maybe its because of the waves ( i swim in sea). i also got no idea about how to use my legs. even when watching videos showing you how to do kicks i just can't get my legs do those motions lol.

@VB-hf1js 3 года назад

When I got out of the pool last week, the lifeguard gave me an 'awww' look....😕 3 laps and I was gone

@lukewarmape603 3 года назад

Keep at it! Change up your strokes too. I usually do one length freestyle, one length arms only breast stroke to recover. Will rest inbetween sets too. Nobody is judging you!

Hi Yesterday, I just swam 10.2 KM in an ocean bay for 5 hrs 47 minutes. Any videos you could suggest to improve my time? Sometime in the future planning to swim 13.2 km to a island. Of course will do that with an assistance boat and with the proper permits.
